Wow.
My wonderful old grouchy girl dog went to the bridge in May. I have only been dog-less once before in my life, while serving on active duty in the US military.
I am having a horrible time finding another dog that fits. I used to have my grouchy chow mix girl and working bred shepherds and sometimes wolf hybrids or other "high-drive" dogs that other people were not able to handle.
Now I am married, working full time and living in suburbia with a toddler and an infant, the days of tending bar nights and waking up to long days on thousands of acres out the back door on a ranch are long gone.
But I can still fit in a walk once a day, albiet in a double stroller, and i can throw a stick and teach endless mindles tricks and I have five million (er-wait-six-seven-under ten) bengal cats waiting for a canine victim to arrive.
I have contacted rescues, breeders, and called countless ads.
The only response i have gotten is from a standard poodle ad-very expensive or I'd be on him in a minute-and a mini dachschund breeder-just not sure-never had one. Any ideas on what breed or where to go? My single local shelter is chock full of adult pits at all times-I just cannot afford exposing my sweet babies, human or feline, to that!
